Ayy ch'boogie, ha
Yo, they say everything you go through in life (Yeah, yeah)

It's Estelle, yeah

[Verse 1]
I grew up in the 1980s in a 4-bedroom house
My family, my Grandma, three or four aunties
Uncles and brothers, in and out of prison daily
Certain times when there was no heat, we stay under covers
There was life like you never seen (Never seen)
Granny's taking extra people in (Uh)
Come dinner time, it was tippin' eighteen
Boil a big pot of water on the stove to take a bath
Rub my face with Olive Oil, all my mates used to laugh
All my cousin's moved out, we all got divided
Started to get older, I seen God providing
I've seen £50 last for three months solid
I got my first pair of Nikes, we were still eatin' porridge (Haha)
Me and my cousin used to play Mel & Kim
Practicing dancin'
Coming down the stairs and ting
I touched Africa and came back darker
Knowing myself, feeling my roots a little bit harder
